Outdoor Patch Cable Brackton CAT6a S/FTP, RJ45–RJ45, 20 m, Black

Outdoor patch cable Brackton CAT6a S/FTP, RJ45–RJ45, 20 m, Black is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for exterior network connections. It meets CAT6a performance parameters for high‑speed Ethernet links and features S/FTP shielding to reduce alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable comes terminated with RJ45 male connectors on both ends and is intended for outdoor runs between network equipment such as switches, routers and access points. A 2‑year warranty is provided by the manufacturer.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs, providing improved protection against external noise and better pair‑to‑pair isolation compared with unshielded cables. The CAT6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances, while the RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network devices. The 20 m length offers flexibility for typical outdoor installation distances and the cable’s robust outer sheath is suited to exposed routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting outdoor switches and routers to indoor or outdoor network points
• Linking access points and wireless bridges in exterior installations
• Temporary or permanent outdoor runs for CCTV network cameras that require high bandwidth
• Garden, rooftop or facade cabling where shielded protection is required

How to use

Route the cable from device to device avoiding sharp bends and tension. Ensure RJ45 connectors are fully inserted into Ethernet ports until they click. If the cable will be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme mechanical stress, use protective conduits or UV‑resistant routing where appropriate. Maintain separation from high‑voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference and comply with local installation regulations. Test the installed link with appropriate network testing equipment to verify continuity and performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable outdoor performance, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties, avoid tight bending radii, and where necessary use weatherproof junction boxes for connections. When installing in mixed environments, ensure grounding and bonding practices are followed for shielded cables to preserve EMI protection.
